[Pcbsd-developer] Selecting laptop modem during installation?

[Charles A. L. <lan...@gm...>]

I was thinking about how tedious it is to set up a laptop, and how
much time it takes searching on the Internet, on mailing lists and
forums how to fix every bits of your laptop to have it to work
properly. I don't mean it doesn't work out of the box, but it doesn't
work as expected either. For instance to gather all the information to
write this tutorial, it took a long long time:

Now, if we could create a database of monitors that, if during
installation, the person selects her brand and model of laptop, and
PC-BSD runs a specific shell script in the background to do the tweaks
necessary to fix little annoyances specific to this particular laptop,
it would be so much better.

What do you think?
